Why Do We Need Empathy?

, In person and online, Gresham College

Why does the capacity to feel with another matter so much? Jane Shaw draws together evolutionary, psychological and neurobiological accounts of empathy to ask what underpins compassion and social connection, and why fellow feeling has proved so central to the way human beings live alongside one another.
